I know that the general definition of a drought is a lack of rain or moisture, which we get sometimes in the winter, ask mortimer....pg. 4 but it can also mean a drought of a different kind too. For some it is the actual lack of water for those plants under your eaves that don’t get the moisture from the winter New Hellebores rains, but for others it is the drought of things to do out- side in the garden.

They seem to have white wings. Where are they coming from? Signed, Bugged in Beaverton Dear Bugged, These winter pests may not be fruit flies! I think I know what you are battling, white flies. Insect problems on your indoor plants are not unusual. White flies and oth- er pests live under the leaves of your plants and could have made the journey inside when you brought your plants inside from the deck or patio after the summer. The soil in these plants can also house many pests and diseases, including mites, scale and even aphids. If they are white flies you would see them in larger con- centrations around your houseplants. If you are not into chemicals you can use an insecticidal soap. You can also remove the top inch of soil from your plant and replace it with a good ‘packaged’ garden soil. These have usually been tested for bugs and diseases. Wipe down the plant and use a natural remedy. If you don’t mind chemicals, then use a systemic insect con- trol, or continue to wipe down the plant on a weekly basis. Meal Moth Mortimer answers selected questions and comments every month in Garden Time Magazine. To send him your question, email [email protected] ask mortimer 4 Dear Mortimer, I burn wood in a woodstove for heat in the winter and I heard that you can spread the ashes in your garden. Is that true? Signed, Tons of Ashes in Ashland Dear Ashland, Yes, spreading ash from burning wood is beneficial to your garden, but there are a few precautions you should think about as well. First, wood ash is great because it is a product of plants so it contains lots of nutrients that are not consumed by the fire, like potassium, calcium and other trace el- ements. It is also slightly alkaline, so it can help with acidic soils, which we have a lot of in the Northwest. Ash Whitefly The nutritional value of the ash is dependent on the type of wood you burn as well. If you burn a hardwood you will get about three times as much ash with five times the nutrients as a softwood. Now for the precautions. Don’t use the ash on acid lov- ing plants like blueberries, rhodies or azaleas, they love acidic soil, and only use ‘wood’ ashes in your garden or lawn! Don’t burn trash or other items and use the ashes in your garden. You should also spread wood ashes evenly on your yard. Use no more than 1.5 pounds/100 square feet/year and don't use if the soil pH is greater than 7.0 or if potassium levels are excessive. For more information on the use of wood ashes in your garden you can check out the OSU Extension website at http://extension.oregonstate.edu/gardening. Your friend, Mortimer Pantry Moths If the pests are a moth type of insect, then you might have a form of pantry or meal moth. They feed on cereals, nuts, grains and even pet food. Look for the package where they are feeding (usually a container Wood ash contains lots of nutrients. or bag that has been left open), you can usually see the worms/larvae, and get rid of them. Then place a sticky pheromone trap out for the remainder of the swarm. You can find these traps at your local garden center. We hope you can survive the rest of the winter bug free, but if you can’t just drop us a line! Your friend, A hardwood, like Ash, has more nutrients.

    V. Spadaro, F. M. Raimondo & P. Colombo Endophytic evidences in Helleborus (Ranunculaceae) Abstract Spadaro, V., Raimondo, F. M. & Colombo, P.: Endophytic evidences in Helleborus (Ranunculaceae). — Fl. Medit. 17: 277-286. 2007. — ISSN 1120-4052. The results of a morphoanatomical study carried out on various organs of Helleborous bocconei subsp. intermedius, an endemic to South Italy and Sicily, which roots are traditionally used to treat pulmonary diseases of cattle. S.E.M. observations have shown diffuse fungal structures in the internal organs, perhaps spreading out on the exterior of the plant. The endophyte, which will be studied in detail in future, has been temporarly referred to Botrytis sp. Such study, extended for verification also to H. lividus subsp. corsicus, endemic to Corsica, has shown anal- ogous fungin structures, confirming thus in another species of Helleborus the same endophytic manifestations observed in H. bocconei subsp. intermedius. Such evidence, contextually veri- fied on two isolated taxa of Helleborus and even on other findings of congeneric species belonging to Palermo’s Botanical Garden, lead the authors into extending this endophytic rela- tion to the whole genus, which unpublished in Helleborus, was already known for Ranunculaceae, since already observed in Ranunculus bulbosus. Key words: Botrytis, Endophytism, Morphoanatomy, ethnopharmacobotany. Introduction During a biological and ethnopharmacobotanical study on Helleborus bocconei subsp. intermedius (Guss.) Greuter & Burdet, endemic to Sicily and Southern Italy, well known in Sicilian folk tradition for its efficacy against pneumonia in livestock (Raimondo & Lentini 1990), some elements of phytochemical and biological importance have been reported (Spadaro 2006). These are unpublished aspects that may contribute to explain the pharmacological effect on which the empirical employment in veterinarian treatment founds its bases when treating pulmonary diseases with dried roots of such plant, locally known as “radicchia”.

  • Hellebore Faqs by Post Office Farm Nursery
    Hellebore FAQs By Post Office Farm Nursery Can I grow Hellebores where I live? Hellebores are temperate climate plants. They like a cool to cold Winter and not too much humidity. So Hellebores can be grown anywhere in Tasmania and Victoria. Temperate areas of South Australia, including Adelaide and surrounds, are fine for Hellebores. In NSW Hellebores can be grown in coastal areas up to about Newcastle. Coastal areas further North than this will be too humid for Hellebores. So Hellebores can be grown in Sydney and will be particularly at home in the Southern Highlands and Blue Mountains. In inland areas of NSW Hellebores enjoy the cold Winters and can be grown well in non-arid areas from Wagga, Canberra through Bathurst, to Armidale. In Queensland Hellebores can only be grown in higher altitude Southeastern inland area such as Stanthorpe, Warwick and Toowoomba. Where should I plant my Hellebores? Planting Hellebores in the correct position in the garden is the key to growing them successfully. In the wild Hellebores are found in and around deciduous woodland. They are adapted to having shade for most or all of the day in Summer (when the trees are in leaf) and good light if not full sun over Winter (when the woodland canopy is bare). So while it is true that Hellebores are ‘shade plants’, it is deciduous rather than year round evergreen shade that they want. Indeed planting Hellebores under large evergreen shrubs and trees is the most common mistake made when planting Hellebores. If too dark under evergreen shade in Winter, Hellebore will not grow and flower to their potential.

  • Southern Garden History Plant Lists
    Southern Plant Lists Southern Garden History Society A Joint Project With The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation September 2000 1 INTRODUCTION Plants are the major component of any garden, and it is paramount to understanding the history of gardens and gardening to know the history of plants. For those interested in the garden history of the American south, the provenance of plants in our gardens is a continuing challenge. A number of years ago the Southern Garden History Society set out to create a ‘southern plant list’ featuring the dates of introduction of plants into horticulture in the South. This proved to be a daunting task, as the date of introduction of a plant into gardens along the eastern seaboard of the Middle Atlantic States was different than the date of introduction along the Gulf Coast, or the Southern Highlands. To complicate maters, a plant native to the Mississippi River valley might be brought in to a New Orleans gardens many years before it found its way into a Virginia garden. A more logical project seemed to be to assemble a broad array plant lists, with lists from each geographic region and across the spectrum of time. The project’s purpose is to bring together in one place a base of information, a data base, if you will, that will allow those interested in old gardens to determine the plants available and popular in the different regions at certain times. This manual is the fruition of a joint undertaking between the Southern Garden History Society and the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation. In choosing lists to be included, I have been rather ruthless in expecting that the lists be specific to a place and a time.

  • Reproductive Characteristics As Drivers of Alien Plant Naturalization and Invasion
    Reproductive characteristics as drivers of alien plant naturalization and invasion Dissertation submitted for the degree of Doctor of Natural Sciences presented by Mialy Harindra Razanajatovo at the Faculty of Sciences Department of Biology Date of the oral examination: 12 February 2016 First referee: Prof. Dr. Mark van Kleunen Second referee: Prof. Dr. Markus Fischer Konstanzer Online-Publikations-System (KOPS) URL: http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bsz:352-0-324483 Summary Due to human activity and global movements, many plant species have been introduced to non-native regions where they experience novel abiotic and biotic conditions. Some of these alien species manage to establish reproducing naturalized populations, and some naturalized alien species subsequently become invasive. Invasion by alien plant species can negatively affect native communities and ecosystems, but what gives the alien species an advantage under novel conditions is still not clear. Therefore, identifying the drivers of invasions has become a major goal in invasion ecology. Reproduction is crucial in plant invasions, because propagule supply is required for founding new populations, population maintenance and spread in non-native regions. Baker’s Law, referring to the superior advantage of species capable of uniparental reproduction in establishing after long distance dispersal, has received major interest in explaining plant invasions. However, previous findings regarding Baker’s Law are contradicting. Moreover, there has been an increasing interest in understanding the integration of alien plant species into native plant-pollinator networks but few studies have looked at the pollination ecology of successful (naturalized and invasive) and unsuccessful (non-naturalized and non-invasive) alien plant species.
